137 X 1845 1850 Brewster Calotype Negative Group Portrait Salted Paper Sir David
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a group portrait featuring the renowned British scientist, Sir David Brewster, along with four other individuals. The image was captured between 1845 and 1850 using a calotype negative technique, resulting in a salted paper print that measures approximately 13.7 x 16.2 cm (5 3/8 x 6 3/8 in. ). The composition exudes an air of intellectual curiosity and camaraderie as the five figures stand together, their expressions hinting at shared knowledge and friendship. Sir David Brewster, known for his contributions to optics and polarized light, stands tall at the center of the group, his presence commanding attention. The identities of the other four individuals remain shrouded in mystery; however, their inclusion suggests they were significant figures within their respective fields or close associates of Brewster himself. The monochromatic tones add depth to this historical photograph while emphasizing its timeless quality. The intricate details captured by the calotype negative process make it possible to discern subtle textures on clothing and facial features. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our past, we are transported back to a time when scientific exploration thrived amidst great minds coming together. This print serves as a testament to both human connection and intellectual pursuit – an enduring reminder of our collective quest for knowledge throughout history.
